Golden State Warriors

(FreshAsFrankie) Friday, Mase dropped a scathing diss record “The Oracle” that took aim at Cam’ron and laid out secrets of the Dipset head honcho that goes back decades. The following day after mocking Pastor Betha on social media, Cam dropped a response track entitled, “Dinner Time.” WIth that rap opinions went soaring on who was the victor in the battle.

While Mase revisited his Murda Ma$e days and laid out some harsh claims about Cam, it doesn’t seem like either of them are taking the records too personally. Even commenting on them and saying they were brothers regardless of it all, shortly following the incident on Instagram.

However, that hasn’t stopped Mase from letting the rap world know he “unanimously” won the battle. Cam’ron has revealed to Complex that he was thrown off by the diss, but let’s take into consideration he openly threw shots at Mase on his new mixtape prior to Mase responding. “I put a project out called The Program two weeks ago and I told a story about something that happened in Harlem so basically he was probably upset that I told the story,” Cam revealed.

Despite it all, he said he’s proud of his former close friend. “It was out the blue, but I’m proud of him, he finally showed some guts after like 15 years. It took him 15 years, but I was really proud of him when I heard that,” Cam stated. The Diplomat said Mase finally “showed some heart.”

(FreshAsFrankie) The NBA offseason keeps getting crazier by the day, with trades happening left and right. Recently, it was announced that Kyrie Irving would be heading to the Boston Celtics in a trade for Isaiah Thomas and others. Many teams showed interest in Kyrie Irving after he announced that he wanted to be traded from the Cavaliers. According to reports, one of those teams was the Golden State Warriors.

ESPN’s The Undefeated revealed that the Cavaliers reached out to the Warriors about possibly trading Irving for Klay Thompson before they made the decision to send their point guard to the Celtics. It was noted by Marc Spears of The Undefeated that the Warriors passed on the offer, which led the Cavs to send Irving to Boston.

Irving, 25, requested a trade during a July meeting with Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert. At the time, Irving said he wanted to play in a situation where he can be more of a focal point and that he no longer wanted to play alongside LeBron James, sources said.

“This has obviously been a roller coaster of a day for us, trading away Isaiah and Jae and Ante, especially Isaiah and Jae who have been such big part of our team and our success and our Celtic culture as leaders of our team. Very, very difficult day,” said Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge. “At the same time, a very exciting time [to add] one of the best offensive players in the league.”

Ainge said that it was a very tough phone call to inform Thomas, who had emerged as the face of the franchise since arriving at the trade deadline in February 2015.

Ainge also said the Celtics did their homework on Irving after his falling out with James in Cleveland and said the player was “excited” to be joining the Celtics. He also acknowledged that Irving’s price tag was high.

“It is a high price tag,” he said. “But acquiring a 25-year-old perennial All-Star, a player that fits a timeline for us, and is a fantastic offensive player, one of the best offensive players in the league, you have to pay a heavy price.”

Pressed on the difficulty of giving up the unprotected Brooklyn pick, Ainge noted, “We valued it from the time we got it and it’s still very valuable. Obviously, we value Kyrie more. It’s that simple.”

Irving has three years and $60 million left on his contract, but he can opt out of the final year before the 2019-20 season.
